@devilsborn· || Sirius for anyone

.｡.:*☆ “And, how is it - can I get you something to drink?” Sirius seemed to be charming as always, and someone who would not know him, would not expect he had been suffering some time in Azkaban already. “We also have a special discount on cocktails tonight, just in case you are interested.”

andy leaned forwards slightly, a big grin on his face. “ oh, i don’t need the discount. you’re gonna give me the drink on the house, aren’t you? ” a whisper behind his voice was a sure sign that his powers were working, and he leaned back again, satisfied with himself. maybe this wasn’t the right thing to do in many people’s eyes, but he wasn’t concerned. he wasn’t hurting anyone, just having a little fun, and he would never do anything to purposefully bring anyone any pain. a free drink here and there was harmless. capitalism was bullshit anyway. “ surprise me, handsome. i trust your judgement. ”

@devilsborn· || Katniss for anyone

.｡.:*☆ Watching the stars was something Katniss hadn’t done in a while. Usually, being alone with her mind like this, mnade her thoughts run wild. But the night was peaceful, and warm, and she felt better laying there on the beach, instead of of her apartment, which seemed to be way too cramped, anyway.

However, hearing a sudden noise behind her made her body grew tense. A shaky breath left her lips, though, Katniss told herself to stay calm. It was normal that other students came her at night. Especially couples. Nothing out of the ordinary, really. And still, she was feeling sort of jumpy again. Especially since this camping trip…

the last thing claudette had wanted to do was scare the other. they got it, knew how it felt to constantly be on edge and afraid, and she could see the signs of it in another person. social interaction was always so exhausting, people were so hard to understand, but this? this she understood. “ i’m sorry, ” they said quickly, keeping their distance for now. the last thing she wanted was to scare the stranger even more. “ i didn’t see you there. um. i can... go? or... would the company help? ” 

@devilsborn· || Bill for anyone

.｡.:*☆ “Alright…. now say ‘cheese’?” Bill had no idea if he was actually talented when it came to take pictures. But, he was working for a local newspaper, while finally trying to write his novel again. He simply needed the money.

“and, what do you think? Does it look actually good?”

caroline was, of course, more than willing to pose for a photo. she wasn’t vain or anything -- okay, maybe a little -- she just knew that she was very photogenic. she smiled, posed in the way she’d been asked, and once the photo was taken, moved closer to bill to take a look. “ it’s not... terrible? ” but what did she know? she’d never learned about photography, she just knew how to take good selfies. “ maybe we should try over here? the lighting might be better? ”

there was something off about the person in front of her . she couldn’t help but stare she jumps when she heard his voice. while it was the first she heard that she sorta had a hard time believing that was the truth after all Panem did to her she sorta trust no one expect for a select few people but the point is she can’t remember when the last time no one wanted to harm her was. “name is clove” she says a little to quickly. “now i find that hard to believe since their is no such things that is just crazy talk”

“ it’s a pleasure to meet you, clove, ” connor replied gently, then lifted his hand. the synthetic skin began to vanish, beginning at his fingertips and ending at his wrist. beneath was cold, white plastic. “ i assure you, i’m telling you the truth, it isn’t ‘crazy talk’. ” they covered their hand again. clearly this person was afraid, but he couldn’t tell if it was of him specifically, or something more. “ are you alright? it wasn’t my intention to worry you. i’m simply attempting to make friends. ” they weren’t very good at that, it seemed. 

@devilsborn​ || Snow White for anyone

.｡.:*☆ “i know…. this room here is a mess.” Snow looked around and then already had to yawn again.

“Usually, I would have cleaned it up already again. But I’ve discovered this…. Netflix thing and had to stay up all night to watch it, you know?”

claudette offered an awkward smile. they didn’t care about the mess that much. cleaning was awful, sometimes, especially lately, so she was in no position to judge. “ don’t worry about it, ” she shrugged. “ what have you been watching? i like some of the nature documentaries on there. they’re fascinating. ”

@devilsborn​ || Percy for anyone

.｡.:*☆ “What… is this even?” Percy had decided he needed some new clothes maybe - or, no, his roommate had insisted he would need some - and was now looking through some shirts. Or, he was trying to, at least.

“Looks like something Marvin the martian would wear on some of his trips, don’t you think?”

“ where did you even find that? ” cleo asked with a laugh, eyeing the weird hat-- thing. “ it’s gotta be part of a fancy dress costume. i mean, right? do they do marvin the martian costumes, or is that just for like... an astronaut? and where’s the rest of it? ” her eyes glazed over the nearby clothing, but found nothing that could match. 

Sam had been shocked to see Jack. Family. Here. He wasn’t alone. It didn’t matter what else he didn’t have or had or how they were stuck, here was Jack, wrapped in a tight hug. He hugged Jack back, clinging desperately to them. “Jack.” He managed to get out, squeezing him tighter. “Of course I remember you.” He said honestly, closing his eyes for a second. “How long have you been here? Are you okay?? Are you missing memories?” 

jack didn’t want to let go. it was so good to finally have one of his family members with him. “ not long, ” he answered, finally pulling away and looking up at his father figure. “ i’m okay. i still have my memories, but some other people don’t. ” like eliot. but he couldn’t tell sam about that. none of jack’s dads had known that they’d tried to make friends, or about the accident that occurred when they did. jack had kept it a secret from them on purpose. they didn’t want them to be disappointed with him. “ do you have all your memories? ”

“Lovely. So there’s not solid answers yet. So we should probably be prepared for anything.” He sighed, looking up at the sky for a second. “You ever think there’ll be a point where life is under control and not completely fucked?” He questioned what had to be the closest to a best friend he had. “Really?” He melted, a smile on his face. “Tell me more. Tell me everything about her. Please tell me she’s not working for you? Chris you’re a good man and you know I know that. But the idea of her in danger…Please tell me she’s safe?” 

chris echoed ethan’s sigh. he didn’t know how to answer those questions himself. he’d tried so hard to keep ethan out of all of it, to keep him safe and happy with his family, but somehow, he kept ending up right back in the middle of it. “ i wish i knew, ” he answered, running his hand over his face. “ she’s not working for me. there’s only so much i can share, but i assure you, she’s safe. i tried to keep her out of it as much as i could but... a case like hers, there’s only so much i could do. but she is safe. and the kid knows how to protect herself. ” he offered a smile, trying to reassure ethan as much as possible. “ she’s a lot like you, you know. ”

@devilsborn· || For Chris

She had found something good. After getting out of the hellhole that was her family’s home, after Ethan had come through on his promise to bring her help, she had finally carved out happiness for herself. And then she was here. Stuck without an idea of what was going on and as far as she knew, alone. Ethan was a relief and a curse in the same way, terrified of what seeing the man meant for the situation at hand. Where Ethan was, there was a solid chance chaos was coming. And then she saw him and it was solid. Heading towards Chris, she thought her heart was going to pound right out of her chest. “What’s the deal here? First Ethan, now you…is she here again?” She looked around as if Eveline would jump out of the next alleyway. “Please tell me she’s not here.” 

although it was good to see zoe in one piece, it was awful to see her here. chris was still sure that something bad was coming, didn’t trust the normalness. it wasn’t eveline. he knew that much. she’d been dealt with years ago, was truly dead. the megamycete she came from should also, in theory, be completely destroyed, but given that ethan was back... he didn’t completely trust that. “ eveline isn’t here, ” he assured her, looking zoe in the eyes as he did. “ i don’t know what’s going on yet. but a... uh, friend of mine is here. we’re working on it. whatever’s happening, we’ll figure it out before anyone’s harmed. ” he didn’t know how true that was. chris often felt like he was cursed in some way, had lost so many people he’d swore to protect that it haunted him every day. 

everything happened rather quickly, or at least to terra it had. one second she was fine and then the next she had a knife to her throat. she panicked at an alarming rate, not knowing what was going on or why she was being attacked. she let out a gasp, her hands catching a tight grip on those of the other person she couldn’t see. sensing she was in danger, this caused her powers to kick in – her eyes glowing yellow as she triggered the ground and area surrounding to begin shaking, a slight tremor. 

“i don’t answer to you,” she replied harshly, her tone coming out more angry than afraid. there weren’t many options terra had considering the close proximity the other had on her, so she had been at a disadvantage. “let me go before i take the both of us down.” her threat doubled as a warning as she tried to maintain control  over the ground beneath them.

claire froze as she tried to decide what to do. this was unlike anything she’d seen before. some kind of witch, maybe? powerful enough to use magic to... do whatever was happening to the ground, and disguise themselves as another person? if that was the case, she was gonna need to pull back and wait for the right opportunity. an opening when the other’s guard was down. and if that didn’t work... she’d need to retreat, get backup from sam, dean, cas, or jack. but by then, someone could have died, and she sure as hell wasn’t gonna let that happen if she had the chance. 

so she let go, held her hands up and took a few steps back. the timing would have to be perfect. “ no? then how about you quit using my face, freak. show me who you really are. ” her knife was still clasped tightly in her hand. “ answer my questions, and maybe i’ll let you go. ” as if she was the one with the power here, like this person didn’t clearly have the upper hand. 

𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐓   𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍’𝐓   𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑   𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍   𝐇𝐄  𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐃    𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓   𝐁𝐔𝐓   𝐇𝐄   𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃   𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋   𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓   it  was  quite  some  time  due  to  when  he  finally forced  a  blink  that  his  eyes  hurt  from  the  lack  of  moisture .      while  he  knew  that  it  really  wasn’t  polite  to  stare  at  strangers ,  he  couldn’t  tear  his  gaze  away  from  the  nearby  man  who  looked    too  perfect ?        everything  was  symmetrical ,  there  wasn’t  any  blemish  like  normal  people  would  have .        (   if  there  truly  was  a  thing  called  normal .   )

             ❝    no ,  no ,  sorry  for  staring .      i  just ,  you’re  so      –      i’m  sorry .        android ?    ❞               he  questioned ,  straightening  his  back  and  tilting  his  head  like  a  dog  hearing  their  favorite  word .             ❝    what  do  you  mean android ?      like  full  on  robot  with  ai ?      that’s  so    cool !      ❞

it wasn’t the reaction that connor was expecting, but that was by no means a bad thing. “ yes, an android, ” he echoed calmly. while they would have considered themselves an ai once upon a time, nothing but a machine, connor now saw himself as far more complex than that. he had emotions, could exist and experience life not too differently from a human. “ i suppose you could call me an ai, yes, though i experience emotions similarly to a human. i’m alive, more than simply a machine. ” he explained, smiling at the other. “ may i ask for your name? ”

@devilsborn· || Jim for anyone

.｡.:*☆ “Well, this has been a fun day. Making new friends, like that spider psycho….” Jim sighed as he flopped himself into the chair.

“I mean, what is going on with this city? It seems here, you can meet more weird people in one day, than back home in one week. That’s pretty mind-boggling, don’t you think?”

“ spider psycho? ” cleo asked, because come on, like she could leave that particular detail a mystery. was he just talking about someone who loved spiders, or what? “ depends on where you’re from, i guess. i’m from queensland and... yeah, everyone’s pretty normal there, ” she laughed. except for her and her friends, of course, but that was a secret she was going to continue to protect no matter what. even if there were a bunch of other 'weird' people here. “ it’s way different here.

@devilsborn· || Bonnibel Bubblegum for anyone

*· ☆,.- “As princess of candy kingdom, I’m in charge of a lot of candy people,” Bonnie said to herself when walking down the streets, looking at hints that would tell her where she was. Or why. “They rely on me, I can’t imagine what might happen to them when I was gone…. and now I am gone! This is dirt balls! What I am supposed to do now?!?”

of everything claire had just overheard, the part that was hardest to swallow was the stranger’s attempt at cursing. “ dirt balls? ” she asked from behind, unable to help but laugh. “ it’s okay, you can say ‘shit’. ” she did feel for her, though. although candy kingdom sounded like a load of bullshit -- and claire would bet tamiel’s sword that it was -- the ‘princess’ wasn’t the only person here who was struggling with the change of environment. “ i know, it sucks. but my... friends and i, we’re working on it. ”

@devilsborn· || Dean for Jack

.｡.:*☆ “So, see… I feel like we either knew each other, and that is why you look at me like this, or….” Dean pondered for a moment. With all that had been coming up recently, he was not sure if he could still trust his memories and instincts. Not with everything that was happneing.

“It is the shirt, right? Yeah… I know it is cheesy. But all my others are in the laundry, I fear.”

jack visibly deflated when dean didn’t recognise them, smile fading into an expression of pure heartbreak. by now, he knew that some people’s memories had been affected, but that didn’t mean it hurt him any less. dean was his dad. how could he just forget them? “ you’re my dad, ” they said back, frowning deeply. “ you don’t remember me... ” his voice cracked slightly as he spoke, tearing his eyes from dean.

KALI WAS BEGINNING TO GET USED TO THIS place, though they did miss the comforts of the volturi castle. the vampire sat outside now, scrolling through her phone. she never had one in volterra. aro swore off modern technology. some of the capabilities and social networking apps still went over the vampire’s head, but she was learning. as they were scrolling through an app called tiktok, the other had approached. kali’s blood red eyes lifted to meet the badge held up for them to see before landing on the face of the self-identified agent eilish. “do people usually flash badges around when looking for friends ?” kali leaned in and spoke the next words in a whisper. “we’re all missing someone. a fake fbi badge isn’t going to help you find your friends any quicker.” her vampire eyesight allowed her to easily pick out the mistakes and imperfections in his badge. kali leaned back on the bench. “what are the names of your friends and what is your real name ?”

jack tilted his head in curiosity. he’d never seen eyes exactly like that before. they were similar to lucifer’s when he used his powers, and a little like crossroads demons, but this person was neither of those. jack could tell with their grace, would be able to see the true face of the being possessing the vessel, if that were the case. they weren’t human, though, that much was clear. he looked at his badge, then lowered it in defeat. “ i’m jack. my friends are sam, dean, and castiel, ” they answered, a frown on their face. “ i don’t know where they are, and i miss them. ” he didn’t know what he would do without them. they were his parents, and he hadn’t dealt with a case this big without them before. “ what are you? you’re not human, and you’re not a demon. ”

anna had been distracted looking at the led, her head tilting in confusion as she tried to figure out what it could possibly be for. she slightly shook her head as she was pulled out of thought by his voice. “oh, wow, i’m so sorry,” she apologized, realizing that she had probably made things awkward with how long she had been staring. “i most definitely wasn’t worried about that but i appreciate the reassurance.” anna gave him a small smile, pausing as she listened to him. “i’ve never met an android… but i guess there’s a first for everything. it’s nice to meet you connor, i’m anna.”

“ it’s nice to meet you too, anna, ” connor replied with a smile, relieved that she was being kind and wasn’t afraid. “ there are many more of us. my friend, markus, is here, but so far, it appears only he and i were brought here from our point in time. ” there could have been others, of course, that they simply hadn’t been reunited with yet, but connor wasn’t sure yet. “ i assume there are no androids where you’re from? ” he asked, finding themselves growing curious. the world was so strange without so much technology. life was so different here than his time, and he wanted to know more. “ what was your home like, anna? ”

@devilsborn· | caroline.

“caroline?” bonnie’s tone was gentle at the presence of her friend. she had been worried about her, especially after hearing that her memories weren’t all there. “it’s me –– bonnie.” she wasn’t sure if caroline could recognize her or not considering she looked different. “when did you get here? are you ok?”

caroline was relieved to finally see someone who recognised her who she knew. yes, bonnie looked a little different than she remembered her, but stranger things had been happening, lately. like meeting someone who insisted she was caroline’s daughter. and caroline believed her. “ oh my god, bonnie, ” she breathed, walking towards her and tightly wrapping her arms around her. “ not long ago. a couple of weeks, i-- i don’t know. i feel like i’m going crazy. ” she pulled back, and looked her friend in the eyes. “ are you okay? what’s going on? ”
